Given the previous post talking about the failure of leadership in the RC Church and the present discussion in the ECC about how we wish our leadership to be constituted, I thought this concise quote is appropriate.
"Leadership is responsibility, not privilege;
action, not position;
guidance, not knowledge;
and outcome, not disposition."
- Dante Shepherd
Son be done with thy foolish words;
ReplyDeleteNo man may rule my land,
No man can master a hundred swords
Whatever the strength of his hand.
Rule for power and pride
Alone in an empty hall;
Serve or step aside
The King is a servant or nothing at all.
